Echo Lake – When you visit Echo Lake you can join our beloved minty green dinosaur, Gertie – sporting her own dino-sized Santa hat – in celebrating the holiday season this year. With over-sized ornaments, colorful garlands and a giant Christmas tree centered on the water, it is the perfect place for this year’s holiday photo.

Sunset Seasons Greetings – This popular nighttime holiday experience returns with impressive laser effects to complement the spectacular projections of Mickey, Minnie and other beloved Disney characters sharing their favorite Christmas stories as a snowy Sunset Boulevard twinkles with stunning holiday decorations.
